Why each option

Searching Exchange mailboxes from SharePoint requires establishing server-to-server (OAuth) authentication first so that SharePoint can make authenticated calls to Exchange on behalf of users.

ADefine an individual target application in the Secure Store that contains Exchange connection information.

A Secure Store target application stores credentials for a specific service, but without server-to-server trust already in place, SharePoint cannot authenticate to Exchange to use those credentials for cross-system eDiscovery.

BConfigure server-to-server authentication between SharePoint and Exchange.Correct

Server-to-server authentication using OAuth 2.0 establishes a trust relationship between SharePoint and Exchange Server 2013, allowing SharePoint to access Exchange resources without requiring individual user credentials. This is a prerequisite for any eDiscovery, hold, or export functionality that spans both platforms, and must be completed before configuring any eDiscovery-specific features.

CConfigure alternate access mappings in SharePoint and Exchange.

Alternate access mappings define URL zones for SharePoint web applications and have no role in establishing authentication between SharePoint and Exchange.

DCreate an external content type for Exchange mailbox information.

An external content type enables surfacing Exchange data as a Business Connectivity Services entity, which is a different integration model and does not enable mailbox holds or exports required by eDiscovery.
